BBS LM + BBS RS = BBS Impul :D

[night87]

So I was wondering where to post this up, but because I want to share some info about the tires I used and its stretch, decided to post it up here.
I came across a rare set of BBS Impul couple of weeks ago.
Re-drilled them to 5x100 (so now dual bolt pattern) and fully polished by Goldmember (xB with Burberry interior).


Anthony's Hellaflush BBS RS equipped xB

So here is a pic of my new wheel(s). BBS Impul.
Specs:
18x9 +25(F) & 18x10 +40(R)



Here are some pics that I took yesterday without the lip kit. Just found out my passenger wheel was hitting the chassis so metal on metal :/





The driver rear wheel is bent a little so i gotta get that fixed asap.
Thinking if I should change all the bolts to Gold

Anyways, so I went with a tire brand called Achilles. Did some thorough research and found out these tires are used for drifting and a better quality than nankangs. (Did some google searching).
The stretch on these tires are amazing! I literally can go a size down. 18x10 is wrapped on 225/40/18 and 18x9 on 215/40/18. The rears came out very nicely but for the fronts, there is a stretch but the lips are barely noticeable.

Idk about you but personally, I consider a tire a "good stretch" one if it does just that and shows the lips even when not crazy stretched. If anything, I would say based on the pic you posted that these are the opposite

I'm with you Aaron.. I think the OP just has a different perspective on stretch.

i don't really know about the stretch thing so you're right thx for the info.
i just found out my tires were mounted the opposite way..:/

Wow those impuls are so wet...
I am now in the market for those haha.

And how much were the tires? I'm looking for a budget tire that will stretch/ reinforced sidewalls

Achilles ATR are pretty good, i have them on my 180, decent grip and tire wear, especially for drift

but i would've preferred a larger rim protector on the tire
